Astros 6, Rangers 2: 1st game between Texas rivals is feisty

Houston’s hottest club is Club Astros. It has everything:

• Benches clearing brawls
• Lance McCullers strike outs
• Sneaky slides
• A 5-run Astros inning
• That thing where you finally see positive regression after an entire 2016 season where the Texas Rangers got every single break in their favor and the Astros’ couldn’t buy a win against their cross-state rivals.
• FLAG WAVING ORBIT

If this is what Silver Boot baseball looks like in 2017, count me in. The Astros and Rangers square up again tomorrow at 7:10 PM CDT for the second game of this four game set at Minute Maid Park.
